Description

技術分野
本発明は、ノボラック型フェノール樹脂のアルキレンオキシドの付加反応による鎖延長、それに続くアクリル酸及び/又はメタクリル酸の付加及び多塩基酸無水物の付加によって得られる光及び/又は熱硬化性樹脂に関し、さらに詳しくは、その硬化物が耐熱性、強靱性に優れると共に、高い硬度と可撓性を有し、しかも耐水性、耐薬品性に富んだ光及び/又は熱硬化性樹脂に関する。
さらに本発明は、アルカリ現像可能な光硬化性・熱硬化性組成物及びそれから得られる硬化物に関し、さらに詳しくは、一般のプリント配線板や、フレキシブルプリント配線板、テープキャリアパッケージの製造に用いられる永久マスクや、多層配線板の層間絶縁層等としての使用に適し、紫外線の照射後、希アルカリ水溶液で現像することによって画像形成し、加熱処理、又は活性エネルギー線照射後の加熱処理、もしくは加熱処理後の活性エネルギー線照射により仕上げ硬化することにより、密着性、はんだ耐熱性、耐吸湿性、PCT(プレッシャークッカー)耐性、無電解金めっき耐性、耐屈曲性、耐折性、柔軟性、反り、電気絶縁性に優れる硬化膜を形成できる液状のアルカリ現像可能な光硬化性・熱硬化性組成物並びにその硬化膜に関する。
背景技術
現在、一部の民生用プリント配線板並びにほとんどの産業用プリント配線板用ソルダーレジストには、高精度、高密度の観点から、紫外線照射後、現像することにより画像形成し、熱又は光照射で仕上げ硬化(本硬化)する液状現像型ソルダーレジストが使用されている。また環境問題への配慮から、現像液として希アルカリ水溶液を用いるアルカリ現像タイプの液状ソルダーレジストが主流になっている。このような希アルカリ水溶液を用いるアルカリ現像タイプのソルダーレジストとしては、例えば、特開昭61−243869号公報には、ノボラック型エポキシ化合物と不飽和一塩基酸の反応生成物に酸無水物を付加した感光性樹脂、光重合開始剤、希釈剤及びエポキシ化合物からなるソルダーレジスト組成物が、特開平3−253093号公報には、ノボラック型エポキシ化合物と不飽和一塩基酸の反応生成物に酸無水物を付加した感光性樹脂、光重合開始剤、希釈剤、ビニルトリアジン又はビニルトリアジンとジシアンジアミドの混合物及びメラミン樹脂からなるソルダーレジスト組成物が、特開平3−71137号公報、特開平3−250012号公報には、サリチルアルデヒドと一価フェノールとの反応生成物にエピクロロヒドリンを反応させて得られたエポキシ樹脂に(メタ)アクリル酸を付加し、さらに多塩基性カルボン酸又はその無水物を反応させて得られる感光性樹脂、光重合開始剤、有機溶剤等からなるソルダーレジスト組成物が開示されている。
上記のように、ソルダーレジストとしては従来幾つかの材料系が提案されており、現在、実際のプリント配線板の製造において大量に使用されている。しかしながら、近年のエレクトロニクス機器の軽薄短小化に伴うプリント配線板の高密度化に対応して、ソルダーレジストにも高性能化が要求されている。さらに最近では、リードフレームと封止樹脂を用いたQFP(クワッド・フラットパック・パッケージ)やSOP(スモール・アウトライン・パッケージ)等と呼ばれるICパッケージに代わって、ソルダーレジストを施したプリント配線板と封止樹脂を用いたICパッケージが登場した。これら新しいパッケージは、ソルダーレジストを施したプリント配線板の片側にボール状のはんだ等の金属をエリア状に配し、もう片側にICチップをワイヤーボンディングもしくはバンプ等で直接接続し、封止樹脂で封止した構造をしており、BGA(ボール・グリッド・アレイ)、CSP(チップ・スケール・パッケージ)等の呼び名で呼ばれている。これらのパッケージは、同一サイズのQFP等のパッケージよりも多ピンでさらに小型化が容易である。また実装においても、ボール状はんだのセルフアライメント効果により低い不良率を実現し、急速にその導入が進められている。
しかしながら、従来市販のアルカリ現像型ソルダーレジストを施したプリント配線板では、パッケージの長期信頼性試験であるPCT耐性が劣り、硬化物の剥離が生じている。また、ソルダーレジストの吸湿により、パッケージ実装時のリフロー中にパッケージ内部で吸湿した水分が沸騰し、パッケージ内部のソルダーレジスト皮膜及びその周辺にクラックが生じる、いわゆるポップコーン現象が問題視されている。このような耐吸湿性や長期信頼性の問題は、上記実装技術の場合のみに限られるものではなく、一般のプリント配線板のソルダーレジストや、フレキシブルプリント配線板やテープキャリアパッケージの製造に用いられるソルダーレジストや、ビルドアップ基板等の多層配線板の層間絶縁層など、他の用途の製品においても望ましくない。
このように、最近の電気産業、半導体産業の発展に伴って、一層の特性向上、例えば、耐熱性、強靱性、可撓性、耐水性、耐薬品性の向上が要求され、これを満足すべく種々の新規な感光性樹脂が開発されている。
従来、ノボラック型エポキシ樹脂を出発原料とした感光性樹脂は、その優れた接着性、耐熱性、耐薬品性、電気絶縁性などのため、ソルダーレジスト、エッチングレジストなど電子材料の多くの分野に広く使用されており、特に耐熱性の優れたカルボキシル基含有感光性樹脂として、前記クレゾールノボラック型エポキシ樹脂と不飽和基含有モノカルボン酸との反応生成物に多塩基酸無水物を反応させて得られる樹脂(特開昭61−243869号)が多用されている。しかし、この樹脂は耐熱性に優れるものの、硬化時の収縮が大きく、伸びが少なく、強靱性に欠けるため、熱ショックによるクラックが発生し易いという難点がある。
これを解決する感光性樹脂として、ビスフェノール型エポキシ樹脂の側鎖水酸基を部分エポキシ化した樹脂と(メタ)アクリル酸と多塩基酸無水物との反応生成物である感光性プレポリマー(特開平9−54434号)、クレゾールノボラック型エポキシ樹脂とアクリル酸とp−ヒドロキシフェネチルアルコールの反応生成物にテトラヒドロフタル酸無水物を反応させて得られる不飽和基含有ポリカルボン酸樹脂(特開平11−288091号)などが提案されている。
しかし、これらの樹脂も、耐熱性と強靭性を共に満足させるにはまだまだ不充分である。
本発明は、前記の様な問題に鑑みなされたものであり、バランスのとれた耐熱性と強靭性に加え、良好な伸び、耐水性、耐薬品性等を有し、かつ良好な可撓性を持つ硬化物が得られるカルボキシル基含有感光性樹脂を提供することを目的とするものである。
さらに本発明の目的は、一般のプリント配線板のソルダーレジストや、フレキシブルプリント配線板やテープキャリアパッケージの製造に用いられるソルダーレジストや、ビルドアップ基板等の多層配線板の層間絶縁層などに要求される密着性、はんだ耐熱性、耐吸湿性、PCT耐性、無電解金めっき耐性、耐屈曲性、耐折性、柔軟性、反り、電気絶縁性等の特性を維持もしくは向上させ、かつ、特にICパッケージに要求される耐吸湿性並びにPCT(プレッシャークッカー)耐性等の特性に優れる硬化膜が得られ、プリント配線板の高密度化、面実装化に対応可能でアルカリ現像可能な液状の光硬化性・熱硬化性組成物及びそれから得られる硬化膜を提供することにある。
発明の開示
前記目的を達成するために、本発明の一側面によれば、ノボラック型フェノール樹脂(a)とアルキレンオキシド(b)との反応生成物(c)にアクリル酸及び/又はメタクリル酸(d)を反応させ、得られた反応生成物(e)と多塩基酸無水物(f)とを反応させて得られ、30〜150mgKOH/gの範囲内にある酸価を有するカルボキシル基含有感光性樹脂(A)が提供される。
本発明のより具体的な好適な態様によれば、多塩基酸無水物(f)が脂環式二塩基酸無水物であるカルボキシル基含有感光性樹脂(A)が提供される。
本発明のカルボキシル基含有感光性樹脂は、ノボラック型フェノール樹脂のアルキレンオキシドの付加反応による鎖延長によって可撓性、伸びの向上がなされ、アルキレンオキシドの付加反応によって生じた末端水酸基にアクリル酸及び/又はメタクリル酸の付加及び多塩基酸無水物の付加を行なうことによって、不飽和基やカルボキシル基が側鎖の末端に付与されたものであるため、反応性が向上し、鎖延長と併せ持って高いレベルで耐熱性と強靱性のバランスがとれ、硬度、可撓性に優れると共に、耐水性、耐薬品性等にも優れた硬化物が得られる。また、末端カルボキシル基を有するためアルカリ水溶液による現像も可能である。
本発明の他の側面によれば、(A)ノボラック型フェノール樹脂(a)とアルキレンオキシド(b)との反応生成物(c)にアクリル酸及び/又はメタクリル酸(d)を反応させ、得られた反応生成物(e)と多塩基酸無水物(f)とを反応させて得られるカルボキシル基含有感光性樹脂、(C)光重合開始剤、及び(D)エポキシ樹脂を含有することを特徴とするアルカリ現像可能な光硬化性・熱硬化性組成物、あるいは上記各成分に加えてさらに(B)感光性(メタ)アクリレート化合物を含有することを特徴とするアルカリ現像可能な光硬化性・熱硬化性組成物が提供される。
好適な態様によれば、上記各成分に加えてさらに(E)有機溶剤及び/又は(F)硬化触媒を含有することを特徴とするアルカリ現像可能な光硬化性・熱硬化性組成物が提供される。
さらに本発明の他の側面によれば、前記アルカリ現像可能な光硬化性・熱硬化性組成物から得られる硬化物もまた提供される。その好適な一態様においては、該組成物を、基材、例えば回路形成されたプリント配線板表面に、スクリーン印刷法、ロールコーティング法、カーテンコーティング法、スプレーコーティング法などの方法により塗布し、遠赤外線乾燥炉や熱風乾燥炉等で乾燥し、続いてレーザー光等の活性エネルギー線をパターン通りに直接照射するか、又はパターン形成したフォトマスクを通して高圧水銀灯、超高圧水銀灯、メタルハライドランプ、無電極ランプなどを用いて活性エネルギー線を照射し、その後未露光部をアルカリ水溶液で現像して所定のパターンを形成する。その後、加熱処理、又は活性エネルギー線照射後の加熱処理、もしくは加熱処理後の活性エネルギー照射により仕上げ硬化(本硬化)させることにより、密着性、はんだ耐熱性、耐吸湿性、PCT耐性、無電解金めっき耐性、耐屈曲性、耐折性、柔軟性、反り、電気絶縁性等の諸特性に優れた硬化膜(硬化物)を低コストで生産性良く形成できる。
発明を実施するための最良の形態
本発明者らは、前記の課題を解決するため鋭意検討を重ねた結果、ノボラック型フェノール樹脂のアルキレンオキシド付加物に不飽和基含有モノカルボン酸を反応させ、得られた反応生成物に多塩基酸無水物を反応させて得られるカルボキシル基含有感光性樹脂、特に不飽和基含有モノカルボン酸がアクリル酸又は/及びメタクリル酸であり、多塩基酸無水物が脂環式二塩基酸無水物であるカルボキシル基含有感光性樹脂(A)は、現像性、光硬化性及び熱硬化性に優れると共に、優れた耐熱性と強靱性を併せ持つ硬化物を与え、該カルボキシル基含有感光性樹脂(A)を光重合開始剤(C)及びエポキシ樹脂(D)と共に含有し、あるいはこれらに加えてさらに感光性(メタ)アクリレート化合物(B)を含有する光硬化性・熱硬化性組成物から得られる硬化物は、レジストとして必要な前記のような優れた特性を持つことを見出し、本発明を完成させるに至ったものである。
すなわち、本発明のカルボキシル基含有感光性樹脂(A)は、ノボラック型フェノール樹脂のアルキレンオキシドの付加反応による鎖延長によって可撓性、伸びに優れた主鎖を形成し、かつ、アルキレンオキシドの付加反応によって生じた末端水酸基にアクリル酸及び/又はメタクリル酸の付加及び多塩基酸無水物の付加が行なわれ、不飽和基やカルボキシル基が同一側鎖上に存在せず、かつそれぞれ側鎖の末端に位置するため、反応性に優れ、高い耐熱性と強靱性を有し、また、主鎖から離れた末端カルボキシル基の存在により優れたアルカリ現像性を有し、しかも該樹脂は、従来技術で用いられているエポキシアクリレートの酸無水物変成樹脂のように反応性の低い親水性の2級水酸基を有しないため、耐水性、耐薬品性に富む硬化物を与える。
従って、該カルボキシル基含有感光性樹脂(A)を光重合開始剤(C)及びエポキシ樹脂(D)と共に含有し、あるいはこれらに加えてさらに感光性(メタ)アクリレート化合物(B)を含有する液状の光硬化性・熱硬化性組成物は、優れたアルカリ現像性、光硬化性及び熱硬化性を示すと共に、その塗膜の選択的露光、現像及び仕上げ硬化によって、密着性、はんだ耐熱性、耐吸湿性、PCT耐性、無電解金めっき耐性、耐屈曲性、耐折性、柔軟性、反り、電気絶縁性に優れた硬化物が得られるものである。
以下、本発明のカルボキシル基含有感光性樹脂及びそれを含有する光硬化性・熱硬化性組成物の各成分について詳細に説明する。
まず、本発明のカルボキシル基含有感光性樹脂(A)は、前記したように、ノボラック型フェノール樹脂(a)とアルキレンオキシド(b)との反応生成物(c)にアクリル酸 及び/又はメタクリル酸(d)を反応させ、得られた反応生成物(e)と多塩基酸無水物(f)とを反応させて得られる。各反応は、後述するような触媒を用い、溶媒中又は無溶媒下で容易に行なわれる。
このようなカルボキシル基含有感光性樹脂(A)は、30〜150mgKOH/g、好ましくは50〜120mgKOH/gの範囲内にある酸価を有することが望ましい。カルボキシル基含有感光性樹脂の酸価が30mgKOH/gよりも低いときは、アルカリ水溶液に対する溶解性が悪くなり、形成した塗膜の現像が困難になる。一方、150mgKOH/gよりも高くなると、露光の条件によらず露光部の表面まで現像されてしまい、好ましくない。

Background art
  At present, some consumer printed wiring boards and most solder resists for industrial printed wiring boards, from the viewpoint of high accuracy and high density, form an image by developing after ultraviolet irradiation, and heat or light irradiation. A liquid development type solder resist that undergoes final curing (main curing) is used. In consideration of environmental problems, an alkali development type liquid solder resist using a dilute alkaline aqueous solution as a developing solution is mainly used. As an alkali development type solder resist using such a dilute alkaline aqueous solution, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-243869 adds an acid anhydride to a reaction product of a novolak epoxy compound and an unsaturated monobasic acid. A solder resist composition composed of a photosensitive resin, a photopolymerization initiator, a diluent and an epoxy compound is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-253093 in which a reaction product of a novolac epoxy compound and an unsaturated monobasic acid is acid-anhydrous. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-71137, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-250012, and a solder resist composition comprising a photosensitive resin, a photopolymerization initiator, a diluent, vinyl triazine or a mixture of vinyl triazine and dicyandiamide, and a melamine resin. The gazette states that epichlorohydrin is a reaction product of salicylaldehyde and monohydric phenol. Solder resist composed of photosensitive resin, photopolymerization initiator, organic solvent, etc. obtained by adding (meth) acrylic acid to the epoxy resin obtained by the reaction and further reacting with polybasic carboxylic acid or its anhydride. A composition is disclosed.
  As described above, several material systems have been proposed as solder resists and are currently used in large quantities in the production of actual printed wiring boards. However, solder resists are also required to have higher performance in response to the recent increase in the density of printed wiring boards as electronic devices become lighter, thinner and shorter. More recently, instead of IC packages such as QFP (Quad Flat Pack Package) and SOP (Small Outline Package) using a lead frame and sealing resin, printed wiring boards and seals with solder resist are used. An IC package using a stop resin has appeared. In these new packages, metal such as ball-shaped solder is arranged in one area on one side of the printed wiring board with solder resist, and the IC chip is directly connected to the other side with wire bonding or bumps, and sealed resin It has a sealed structure and is called by a name such as BGA (ball grid array), CSP (chip scale package) or the like. These packages have a larger number of pins and can be further reduced in size than packages of the same size such as QFP. Also in the mounting, a low defect rate is realized by the self-alignment effect of the ball-shaped solder, and its introduction is progressing rapidly.
  However, a printed wiring board to which a commercially available alkali development type solder resist is applied is inferior in PCT resistance, which is a long-term reliability test of a package, and a cured product is peeled off. Further, the so-called popcorn phenomenon, in which moisture absorbed in the package during the reflow during package mounting due to moisture absorption of the solder resist boils and cracks occur in the solder resist film inside the package and its periphery, is regarded as a problem. Such problems of moisture absorption resistance and long-term reliability are not limited to the above-mentioned mounting technology, but are used for the manufacture of solder resists for general printed wiring boards, flexible printed wiring boards, and tape carrier packages. It is also undesirable in products for other applications such as solder resist and interlayer insulation layers of multilayer wiring boards such as build-up substrates.
  Thus, with the recent development of the electrical industry and the semiconductor industry, further improvement in characteristics, for example, improvement in heat resistance, toughness, flexibility, water resistance, and chemical resistance, is required and satisfied. Various new photosensitive resins have been developed.
  Conventionally, photosensitive resins starting from novolac epoxy resins have been widely used in many fields of electronic materials such as solder resists and etching resists because of their excellent adhesion, heat resistance, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation.
